Billy Joel - The Stranger [White Label Promo]
I don’t actively seek them out (I only have a few) but I always enjoy scooping up white label promos when I encounter them in the wild.

Day 22: Collector’s Corner
Pretty sure this is the album I have the most copies of. 5 different pressings on vinyl and a US CD release. The LP's are a Japanese, UK original, UK reissue, New Zealand pressing, and a US White Label Promo.
I had a 6th copy, I think it was a regular US release, but I gave it to a local friend as he was getting into vinyl.
This original UK pressing is probably the one I need to replace...it's just not as quite as it should be. I've only hung onto it as I haven't seen another of this pressing in the bins yet.
801 – 801 Live
Island Records – ILPS 9444, 1976

one of the best sounding albums I've ever heard...I usually pick up a copy if it's in good shape and priced decently, which is under 20 bucks. I'm still looking for an RL cut...so I check everyone I see.

Day 24: 2010...2020..- great albums from the last 10 years for the young folk
I almost went with a reissue, but decided to play it straight and go with something current, so I’m choosing:
Frankie Cosmos – Next Thing
I was quite taken with this album when it was released in 2016, and I saw Frankie Cosmos perform on a day that was notable both for the album drop AND a very favorable review of it appearing on Pitchfork. Learning about and listening to Frankie Cosmos’ music at about that time probably also served as my entre to Bandcamp, which I hadn't known existed until I followed the Cosmos trail there. And now for the “for the young folk” part…
I was excited to see her live so I bought a ticket for her show at a very nice and rather small theater on the University of Utah campus. I’ve never heard of any other musicians playing at this theater, before or since (I think it was supposed to be at a record store but the demand was too high to do it there). I arrived early for the obvious reasons, parked and headed for the small set of steps leading to the theater’s double doors. I was about fifth in line. Now, I’m well used to being the oldest person at the live shows I attend at these small local venues, but even that didn't prepare me for this experience. The people at the front of the line couldn’t have been more than 15 or 16! I was kind of stunned and began to wonder what the fuck I was doing there. As the line grew to the sidewalk, around and down the street, the average age increased with more of what I was used to seeing with (mostly) 20- and (some) 30-somethings. When it got close to maybe 100 people in line, finally a few older folks, around my age, showed up and waited for the doors to open. When we were let in, I made my way toward the front row, where several of the seats were reserved, and then I watched as those other older folks were escorted to the reserved seats. Turns out they were the parents of one of the musicians, Gabrielle Smith, who performs as Eskimeaux. I didn’t know whether I should be relieved or not! Anyway, the show was great, and the communal arrangement between all of the musicians was pretty special. Gabrielle/Eskimeaux performed with her band, most of whom also were part of Frankie Cosmos, and Greta Kline (Frankie Cosmos) lent vocals to some of Eskimeaux’s songs. Gabrielle then became part of Frankie Cosmos, which also consisted of Aaron Maine (Porches), Kline, and Felix Walworth (who performs as Told Slant).
I completely get why Frankie Cosmos speaks directly to 15- and 16-year-olds. But I’ll maintain there’s enough complexity to her music to also appeal to an old fart like myself, who isn’t related to any of the band members! The youngsters are living through what Kline is writing and singing about; it's raw for them in the way Jackson Browne used to crawl inside my head. But me, I’m looking at all of this from some distance now, and I'm impressed as hell by what I see.

Day 24: 2010...2020..- great albums from the last 10 years for the young folk
The way I see it, there are only two types of folks - music folks and non-music folks. There are a couple things that bridge all cultural /generational gaps. Music is one. It's one of a few where an old bastard like myself can make a meaningful connection with someone who could be my grandchild.
That's power.
And with power in mind, my choice for today is a record by an artist that's displayed an artistic, emotional ability to unite generations of music fans for decades. It's musical charge is only outdone by its emotion.
That Bowie - always a step ahead, even in death...
David Bowie - Blackstar

Day 23: “Shake Those Hands”
While I don't really care for live albums, it do find it somewhat ironic that some of my favorite albums are live albums.
This live release was mostly recorded during a tour through the midwest, overdubs were later done - would have been nice to go to a show, but I was 5.
Braden Auditorium, Illinois State University, Normal, Illinois, 3 December 1982
Memorial Hall, Kansas City, Kansas, 4 December 1982
Chick Evans Field House, Northern Illinois University, DeKalb, Illinois, 6 December 1982
SIU Arena, Southern Illinois University, Carbondale, Illinois, 7 December 1982
Peter Gabriel – Plays Live
Charisma/Polystar – 18S-168~9, 1983
Japanese pressing

Looking at most lists of best albums of the decade, I can't say I'm a huge fan of the genre of what is popular. I have a handful of them, mostly from being a member here...like this one. If I wasn't on the VMP forum when this was released I probably wouldn't have ever heard it.
